about

One of our favorite John Hartford tunes was made even better (for us) when our drummer, Erik Radloff, started jamming a hip-hop beat to it in sound-check one night and this arrangement was born. Thanks Erik!

lyrics

Well I'm sailin' away on a steam-powered aeroplane
I went and I stayed and I damn near didn't come back again
Didn't go very fast on a steam-powered aeroplane
The wheels go around and up and down and inside and then back again

Sittin' on a seven-forty-seven just watchin' them clouds roll by
Can't tell if it's sunshine or it's rain
Rather be sittin' in a deck-chair high up over Kansas City
On my genuine, old-fashioned, all-authentic steam-powered airplane

Well I could be a pilot on a steam-powered aeroplane
I'd turn that pilot wheel around and then back again
And I'd wear a blue hat, yeah, that says' "steam-powered aeroplane"
The letters go around the rim and then back again

Sittin' on a seven-forty-seven just watchin' them clouds roll by
Can't tell if it's sunshine or it's rain
Rather be sittin' in a deck-chair high up over Kansas City
On my genuine, old-fashioned, all-authentic steam-powered aeroplane
